Description

Curt Swan and Tex BlaisdellHostess Twinkies
AdComplete 1-Page Story "A Flash in the Dam" Original
Art (DC, 1980). One of the most clever marketing projects of
the Bronze Age were the Hostess ads (for Twinkies or Fruit Pies)
designed to look like just another page of comic book story. The DC
ads were done by DC artists like Curt Swan, Dick Giordano, and Tex
Blaisdell, ensuring they had that "DC look" to them. This ad
starred the Flash and appeared in DC comics cover dated June and
July of 1980. Created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an
image area of 10" x 15". The logo, title, lower caption box, and
the Twinkies product images are all stat paste-ups. There is a bit
of glue residue near some of the paste-up. The toned page is in
Very Good condition. From the Tex Blaisdell Archives.
